After a quick entry in her journal and some breakfast Raven showered and dressed for a day on the town with a specific destination in mind. The Antiques Mall in the town square had some very beautiful collectors items that she had looked over a couple of days before. Since she had met the Master of London and her Termoin she had been thinking about getting them something special for their welcome and safe keeping of her kind and she was sure she had found them botht he perfect gift.

Attire was chosen for the warm weather of London's approaching spring, one of her favorite sundresses of a soft lavender, the darker of the color etching vines and lillys in intricate patterns along the hem and bustline. Black hair was pulled away from her face and pinned up by two diamond studded hair pins shaped like butterflies and wicker platform sandles to complete the outfit. Yes it was something that was rarely worn considering her tast for leather and chains, but she had been feeling more normal here than she ever had anywhere and it was time to look the part, atleast for the day.

She slipped into the newly perchased 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse and when the car was started the soft thump of dark techno music filtered from the open windows. Perhaps it was the speed that had attracted her to the vehicle the speedometer reachingover 170 miles an hour. Of course she was rarely caught on open roads pushing the limits of its acceleration but today she braced herself and took it for a spin, the need to make it in time to get her gifts before someone else driving her.

Pulling up outside the Town Square she parked the car on the side of the road and steppe dout the soft beep of that alarm sounding as she locked it up. Money was put in the meters just beside it and she hurried to the small Antiques shop just a couple of blocks down. It was a homely place with soft cletic music offered for the customers enjoyment and shelves and tables filled with hand me down items and old collectors editions blades, victorian era clothing and so much more. She had found herself purchasing nightly wardrobe as well as wepons from this place since her arrival in London.

Now however she moved to a small glass display case were an assortment of Remenant jewelry was displayed the lock on it making her forwn slightly. She oculd understand the need but a survey of the place showed only one lady and currently she was behind the counter helping a customer. So for the moment she moved to where the ritual dagger obviously of Aztec design still sat within its protective shelving. Lifting it from the wooden handles she carefully moved to the counter waiting her turn. The other lady cast a weary glance at Raven as she moved away and silently the she wolf wondered why.

When a smiling old woman greeted her she returned it with one of her own. " I am interested in purchasing this and one of the necklaces you have in that case over there. " She pointed to the glass jewelry case and the old lady nodded. " Sure darlin, follow me. " With that they both moved to tthe case Ravens silver eyes watching the woman as she pulled a ring of keys from her pocket and opened the door there. " Which one did you have in mind love? " Raven ran her fingers over the diamond neclace with the small tear drop ruby pendant hanging from it and instantly she knew it was perfect. " This one please. "

The womans eyes widdened some but still she smiled nodding and pulling it gently from the case. " It is quite expensive darlin, are you sure? " Ravcen's eyes narrowed on her a bit and she nodded firlmly a few strands of ebony ringlets falling form those pins. " I am sure. " The woman did not make another protest but instead nodded and headed back to the cash register with Raven following quietly behind with the dagger in hand. Placig it up on the counter she watched the woman place the necklace in a beautiful black velvet boc and slip it into a bag then the dagger in a large chaerry oak case with its own bag.

Raven slipped the credit card across the counter but the woman would no longer meet her eyes. Instead she hurriedly completed the transaction and soft almost meek words were offered. " Thank you for shopping with us ma'am come back and see us again and have a nice day. " Oh Raven was a bit heated as she moved from out of that store and to her car. She would go back to the pack house and prepare the presents so that one of the pack could deliver them to Devious Desires.
